Snake Totem

Snake Totem

The snake totem symbolizes regeneration and rebirth, intelligence and knowledge, restlessness, and the energy of the consciousness (Kundalini). Snake sheds its skin, symbolizing the many layers of our personas and the need to shed our old identities so that new potential can emerge.

In some traditions, spiritual awakening is represented by the snake/serpent. Kundalini energy is said to be coiled at the base of the spine like a snake. As it awakens, it uncoils and rises like a serpent through the chakras.

Snake people are drawn to explore the deepest mysteries of life and will experience many “rebirths” throughout their lifetime. They are drawn to exploring many different levels of consciousness.
